Step-ups - Free Weight

Step onto the bench with your left foot, toes straight forward and your knee directly over your ankle joint. Lean forward slightly as you press your left leg straight and step onto the bench with your right foot. Step down in control bringing both feet together.

Equipment notes

Use a sturdy bench that will not tip over when you stand on it. Try a few step-ups without weight just to get the feel for the height of the step.
